# Configuration
## Get the IP and Serial Number to use in the configuration.
On your DHCP server, allocate a static IP for the WiFi data logger.
For this, find the internal IP of the logger on the DHCP server, and then open a browser and navigate to the IP. If you are prompted for a username/password, use "admin" as username and "admin" as password.
Once logged in, expand the "Device information" and note the Device serial number, as well as the IP used.

## Check the version of the solarman logger
If the serial number starts with 17xxxxxxx or 21xxxxxxx (protocol V5), the component should work.

# Configure Energy Dashboard
The [Energy Dashboard](https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/08/04/home-energy-management/) introduced with Home Assistant Core 2021.8 provides most of the functionality to create an awesome dashboard, and you only need to configure the correct inputs for it to start collecting data.
**Tip:**
*Verify that the time is correctly set on the inverter so that the cumilative totals are reset at midnight.*
